Bergerman440:Hi WGT players. I know this sounds lame but. Wondering if someone could shed some lite on this before I throw my tablet out the window. My shot distance varies so much from hole to hole. Let’s say the hole is 175 and I hit 190 and come up 17 yards short. Next time same distance and I’m 20 yards over the green. I know the wind has a big play but wind is roughly the same on both type shots. What am I doing wrong? Thanks
I presume the responses you got when you asked the exact same question this past January were not helpful.

For what it's worth, many holes do not play the distance you would think they do. Some holes need some extra yards, and some may need less. When you see that the distances seem off, each time you play the same hole, I would make a note of it. Next time, add, or subtract, the extra distance you noted. Those holes that play different than the posted yardage are usually consistent, each time you play that hole, depending on the same pin position.
Then, there other holes which the distance, or elevation, is just plain wrong (like a certain par 3 on Torrey).
Finally, if you come across a hole that the distance, or elevation, seems off, try using the search box to the right of this screen and search the forum for comments about that particular hole. Those that are notoriously off are generally discussed.
